Abstract

Spiegelian hernia is a rare entity, accounting for 0.10 to 1% of hernias. It is a protrusion of a peritoneal sac through an acquired or congenital anatomical orifice of the Spiegel line or semi-lunar fascia. We report a case of Spiegelian hernia in a 4-year-old girl with no pathological history, received for a right para rectal mass. Physical examination revealed a non strangulated spiegelian hernia of 13 × 12 cm. It was treated by a peritoneal closure according to lazaro Dasilva’s like technique with interposition of a polypropylene mesh. Spiegelian hernias are rare congenital malformations in children. It can be diagnosed clinically but sometimes requires paraclinical explorations (sonography or computed tomography). Surgical management has good results.
